This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project
to make the world's books discoverable online.
It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject

and insufficient guide to the con<feht6 of the Octavo edition;
besides which, the matter which is common to both editions forms
fittle more than half of the contents of HowelFd Collection. By
the chronological arrangement of Howell's State Trials, a part of
the inconvenience which applied to the earlier editions is removed ;
but it is obvious that there are innumerable points and circumstances,
fidntly remembered, and not associated in the mind with any date or
time, which it is hopeless to attempt to find amongst three and thirty
volumes of desultory matter, without the assistance of an Index.
Under these circumstances, it is hoped that no apology is necessary
for offering to the Public a Work, upon which much time and labour
have been employed, and which must be usefiil to some extent, even
though imperfectly executed. It was originally intended to form a
Digest, or Abstract, of the State Trials, with Notes and Illustrations
of a merely professional character, with a view of rendering more
practically useful the information on legal subjects which the work
contains ; but the appearance of Mr. Phillipps's excellent Book, upon
a somewhat similar, though less comprehensive plan, with other
considerations, induced the Compiler to abandon that intention, and
to restrict his undertaking to the formation of an Index. It has been
ADVERTISEMENT.
considered that the object of an Index, namely, that of furnishing a
ready means of reference to the contents of the work, would be best
attained by the simplest method of arrangement, and that any arti«
ficial analysis would be altogether inapplicable to the State Trials ;
this Compilation, therefore, merely consists of two Tables, alphabeti-
cally arranged ; the first being a Table of Names, with a short abstract,
under each name, of the contents of the work,, so far as they relate
to the individual to whom the name belongs, and a reference to the
passages in which he is mentioned: the second being a Table of
Principal Matters, containing references to the leading subjects, as
well as the points of ISw, arguments, and' other circumstances,
incidentally mentioned throughout the whole Collection. The heads
of reference in both these Tables have been made as numerous and
partic^^dar as possible, in order to afford a large number of such points
as tosiy most probably occur to the memory of the Reader, smd by
v^hich he may be guided directly to the object of his search. A Table
of Parallel Reference has been added, for, the purpose of rendering
the Index applicable to Hargrave's State Trials, as well as to the
Octavo Edition. This Table is the converse of that which is given
in the twenty-first Volume of the Work; the one containing, a
reference from the Folio edition to the Octavo, and the other a
reference from the Octavo to the Folio.
. It may be necessary to explain to the Reader, that as it frequently
happens that eminent and remarkable Characters are mentioned . in
the State Trials, as having been present on particular trials or occa-
sions, without their having taken any prominent part in the proceed^
ings, it has been thought proper to refer to theftn in the Index of
Names, with their description as Judges, Serjeants, Counsel, &c. and
the date of the transactions in which their names occur.

ACCESSARIES.
An Accessary cannot be convicted before the
Principal is attainted, Sanquhar's Case, 2 vol.
756.— By Stat. 2 Edw. 6, c. 24, if a man be
accessary in one County to a Murder or Felony
committed in another, he may be indicted and
tried in the former County, ibid, ib.-— In the
Indictment of an Accessary in Middlesex to a
Murder committed in London, it must be stated
directly tliat the Principal committed the
Murder in London, and not merely that he was
indicted for it there, ibid. 757. — If a person be
indicted as an Accessary to two, and is found
by Verdict to be Accessary to one only, the
Verdict is good, ibid. 759. — ^Though the Prin-
cipal be errpneously attainted, the Accessary
may be convicted, unless the Attainder of the
Principal is actually reversed, ibid. 760. — A
Wife cannot be convicted as an Accessary to a
Felony committed by her Husband, or by her-
self under his direction, Turner's Case, 6 vol.
612. — It is not necessary that an Accessary,
though charged in the same Indictment with
the Principal, should be tried at the same time,
9 vol. 125. — ^When in practice the Accessary
and Principal are tried together, the Verdict
always is, and ought to be, returned against
the Principal first, ibid. ib. 19 vol. 87. — ^An
Accessary to several Principals jointlv is ac-
cessary to each of them severally, 9 vol.126. —
Discussion of the Question whether by the Law
of Scotland, an Accessary can be tried before
the conviction of the Principal, in the Debate
on the Relevancy in Stewart's Case for Murder,

the negative of this Question, ibid. 86. — In-
quiry into the nature of Accessaries before the
»ct, and the History of the Law of England
respecting tliem, in Mr. Hume Campbell's
Argument for the Crown in Macdaniel's Case,
ibid.783. — It was held by all the Judges, in Mac-
daniel's Case, that one who procures a Felony
to be done, though by the intervention of a
third person, is an Accessary before the fact,
and within the meaning of the Statutes depriv-
ing such Accessaries of their Clergy ibid. 804.
—If it appears in Evidence on the Trial of an
Accessary before the fact to a Felony, that the
Crime of the Principal was not Felony, or not
that species of Felony with which he was
charged, the Accessary may avail himself of
this, and ought to be acquitted, Macdaniel's
Case, ibid. 808 (note).
ACCOMPLICE.
Sir Thomas Witheriagton's Argument, in
Love's Case, in favour of the competency of
Accomplices to give Evidence against persons
tried for the Offence in which they are impli-

Prisoner in the same Case, that an Accomplice
is not a "lawful and suflScient" Witness
in Cases of High Treason within the mean-
ing of the Statutes of Edw. 6, ibid. 240.—
It was held by all the Judges in Tonge's
Case, that an Accomplice is a good Wit-
ness within the meaning of those Statutes,
6 vol. 227 (note), 228 (note). — If a Pardon is
promised to a person upon condition that he
discovers a Plot generally, this does not destroy
his competency as a Witness on the Trial of
persons concerned in that Plot, Tonge's Case,
ibid. 228 (note).— But Lord Hale thought that
it would be otherwise, if he had been promised
a Pardon upon condition of his giving Evidence
against any particular person connected with
the Plot, ibid. ib. — Discussion of Lord Hale's
Opinion upon this point, in Layer's Case, 16
vol. 158. — Chief Justice North says, in Lang-
horn's Case, that it is no Objection to the evi-

of an Accomplice, 9 vol. 721. — Discussion
whether an Accomplice, already indicted for

against another person, is a good Witness for
the Crown against that person. Murphy's
Case, 19 vol. 702. — ^The Court in that Case
decided in favour of his Competency, ibid. 709.
— An Accomplice is not to be credited by a
Jury, unless his Testimony be confirmed in
some material points, but it is not necessary
that he should be confirmed in every particular,

ACT OF PARLIAMENT. See Statutes.
ADDITION.
An erroneous Addition to the name of the
Defendant in an Indictment cannot be taken
advantage of in Arrest of Judgment, but must
be pleaded in Abatement, Axtell the Regicide's
Case, 5 vol. 1223. — The Stat. 27 Eliz. c. 7, re-
quiring an Addition to be given to the name of
every Juror returned, does not apply to Juries
from the City of London, Matthews's Case, 15
vol. 1323. — No Addition is required to the
name of the person on whom an Offence is
charged to have been committed, Goodere's
Case, 1 7 vol. 1 025. — ^A general Title of Courtesy
is a sufficient Addition in an Indictment ^ and
therefore where a Prisoner, indicted in Ireland
as a Yeoman, pleaded in Abatement that he
was not a Yeoman but a Soldier, the Judges,
upon Argument, held the Addition sufficient,
Weldon's Case, 26 vol. 237.
ADHERING TO THE KING'S ENEMIES.
See Treason,
If the rebel Subjects of a foreign Prince, who
is at amity v^th Great Britain, invade England
without a Commission from their Sovereign,
they are the Enemies of the King of England,
and English Subjects adhering to them, are
guilty of High Treason, Duke of Norfolk's
Case, 1 vol. 1 030. — Assisting a Government
hostile to England in making war against an
Ally of England, is Adhering to the King's
Enemies within the Statute of Treasons,
Vaughan's Case, 13 vol. 530. — Sending Sup-
plies or Intelligence, or rendering any assist-
ance to a Hostile Force designing an Invasion
of England, is High Treason in the Article of
Adhering to the King's Enemies, ibid. 531. —
In an Indictment for this species of Treason,
it is sufficient to allege in the words of the
Statute that the party *' adhered to the King's
]BQ«imeV^ wiUiQut saying << Against th^Kio^/'
ibid. ib. — Mr. Justice Foster says, that in
Gregg's Case the Judges were of opinion, that
the sending Intelligence to Enemies, though it
be intercepted before it reaches them, is an
Overt Act of Adhering, and that this Opinion
was adopted by the Court in Hensey's Case,
14 vol. 1376 (note), 19 vol. 1344.— See also
the Case of Thomas Howard, Duke of Norfolk,
1 vol. 957. — Mr. Justice BuUer, in his Charge
to the Grand Jury previous to the Trial of
De La Motte, adopts this Opinion, 21 vol.808.
ADJOURNMENT.

Case, that a person who has authority to call
and dissolve a Meeting, has also power to ad'
joum it, 9 vol. 289. — A Criminal Court has
the power of adjourning, in Capital Trials,
after the Jury are charged and before verdict,
where such Adjournment is necessary for the
ends of Justice, 25 vol. 1295 (note). — Entry of
such an Adjournment on the Record in Stone's

CHALLENGE.
There can be no Challenge of a Peer of the
Realm in a Trial before thel^rd High Steward,
Duke of Somerset's Case, 1 vol. 521 .—So held
by all the Judges in Lord Castlehaven's Case,
3 vol. 402. — ^The Challenge of a Peer disallowed
on the Trial of the Earls of Essex and South-
ampton, 1 vol. 1335. — In a Trial for Treason
before the Lord High Steward, the Prisoner
cannot challenge any of his Peers for being
implicated in the same Treason with himself^
unless they are attainted, Duke of Norfolk's
Case, ibid. 765. — ^A Challenge of a Juror
after the Oath was administered, but before
the Juror had kissed the Book, was held to be
too late, Colonel Morris's Case, 4 vol. 1255. —
It was resolved by all the Judges in the Case of
the Regicides, that if several persons, jointly
indicted for the same Ofience, are severally
tried, and if, after the conviction of some, any
of the same Jurors are called to try the others^
they cannot be challenged on this Account, 5
vol. 978. — Lord Holt seems to have held the same
doctrine in Cranburne's Case, 13 vol. 235.—
The Objection was made on the Trial of Peter
Cook, but was overruled by the Court, ibid.
313. — It was held by all the Judges, in the
Case of the Regicides, that if one Jury be
charged with several Prisoners, and they chal-
lenge peremptorily, and sever in their Chal-
lenges, a Juror, who is challenged by one, is
drawn for all, 5 vol, 979. — Peremptory Chal-
lenges are only allowed in capitcd Casesi

-was ruled by Chief Justice Jefieries on dates's
Trial for Perjury, 10 vol. 1080. See also
Blackstone's Opinion, ibid» i\\, (note).—- The
Crown may challenge peremptorily till the
Panel is gone through, because the Law will
have those for Jurors who are minus suspecti,
8 vol. 334. — Chief Justice Pemberton, on the
Trial of Lord Grey of Werk, states the rule to
be, that the King cannot challenge without
cause, but that he is not bound to show his
Cause till the Panel is gone through, 9 vol. 128.
•—In Count Coningsmark'sCase, Chief Justice
Pemberton seems to have expressed a different
Opinion, ibid. 12.-^ If there be a Default of
Jarors when the King challenges, he must show
Cause for each Challenge, Peter Cook's Case,
13 vol. 313. — ^This Rule was objected to by the
Counsel for the Prisoner in Layer's Case, but
Lord Holt and the rest of the Court overruled
the Objection, 16 vol. 134. — ^The same Rule is
stated by the Court on Home Tooke's Trial for
High Treason, 25 vol. 25. See also Spencer
Cowper's Case, 13 vol. 1108. — Discussion of
the principle and validity of the Rule, that the
King is not to show his Cause of Challenge till

ibid. 1240. — ^Allowance of the Challenge of a

Challenge, ibid. 591.— Sir John Hawles's
Remarks upon this Judgment, ibid. 795. —
Discussion whether it is a good cause of
Challenge to a Juror, by the Defendant, on a
Trial for a Misdemeanour, that he holds an
office of profit under the Crown, ibid. 1057. —
Lord Holt holds, on the Trial of Sir William
Parkyns, that it is no Cause of Challenge by
the Prisoner to a Juror that he is a Servant of
the King, 13 vol. 75. — See Mr. Hargrave's
Note upon this Subject, 22 vol. 1038 (note). —
It is a good cause of Challenge to a Juror that
he has expressed an Opinion of the Prisoner's
Guilt; but the fact must not be proved by the
Examination of the Juror, but must be proved
aliunde, Peter Cook's Case, 13 vol. 334. — If the
cause of Challenge touch the honesty of the Juror,
he is not to be examined on it, 15 vol. 898 (note).

Case, 10 vol. 1081. — It is no cause of Chal-
lenge by the Prisoner, that a Law-suit was,
some time previously, depending between him
and the Juror, Francia's Case, 15 vol. 897.
—The Prisoner cannot challenge peremp-
torily on the Trial of collateral Issues, Rat-
cliflfe's Case, 18 voL 432.--Upon this point a
different Opinion appears to have prevailed
formerly, ibid. ib. (note). — Lord Coke says
that when the King is a party, a person shall
not challenge the Array for favour in the.
Sheriff, because, in respect of his Allegiance,
he ought to favour the Crown more, 22 vol.
1038 (note). — Mr. Hargrave's Remarks upon
the reason given by Lord Coke for this Posi-
tion, ibid. ib. — Lord Coke says, that if the

the time of making a Challenge in Criminal
Cases is, that the Prisoner should declare
whether he challenges, before the Counsel for
the Crown are called upon, Brandreth's Case,

by the Attorney General in Layer's Case, 16
vol. 135.

King to govern otherwise than he wishes, it is
a compassing the Death of the King, ibid.
1355. They also gave it as their Opinion,
that the law intends the compassing the Death- 1

thority, as foreseeing that a Rebel will not

son, ibid. ib« — On the Arraignment of Sir

Tonge's Case, ibid. 225 (note). — 'The Court

pourt frould not permit the Prisoners to con-
fess a part of the Indictment and plead Wot
G^iltyto the residue, ibid. 1^10, 1417.— It
ivas resolved by all the Judges In Tonge's
Case, that if a person before a Privy Counsel-
lor or |i Justice of the Peace confesses Trea-
son, and afterwards at his Trial denies it, it
will be suiScient at his Trial to prove his Con-
fession by two Witnesses, without any proof
of the actual Comi^aission of the Treasons
charged, the Confession being within the exr
ception in th^ Statute of Bdward the Siith,
requiring two Witnesses to Pfove the actual
Treason, 6 vol. 227 (note).rr-The Judges ^Iso
held, that a Confession before a Priyy Counr
sellor. though he l)e not a Justice of the Peace,
b within the meaning of that Statute, ibi4*
828 (note).^But the Court, jn Willis's Case,
doubted whether ^videoce of a Confession
would supply the want of two Witnesses re-
quired by the Stat. 7 Will. 3, to every oyert
act of Treason, though they tbopght that such

them, 15 vol. 623. See Mr. Justice Foster's

Counsel for the Prisoner, 5 vol, 466 (note),
